Sorry if the story plot is not exactly 100% accurate with the Twilight series.

Heart Broken Ch 4

Jen POV

I woke up cold and wet but there were warm arms around me. I groggily opened my eyes and looked up at Jared's face. I sighed in relief and tried sitting up.

"Are you ok, Jen?" Jared asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." I replied.

"What happened?" I told him everything that happened on the cliff. When I got to the part about the red-head, Jared growled.

"Did you get her? Did she get me? I'm still human right?" I asked, scared. Jared calmed down and chuckled.

"You're still human as far as I can tell. When you hit the water, I was almost to you and scared Victoria away."

"Her name is Victoria?" I asked surprised. Jared nodded. "Well what happened to Bella?" Jared stayed silent and looked to his right. I followed his gaze and saw Bella in the arms of another guy. The guy looked familiar and I frowned. I gasped in realization when I recognized the guy to be Jake. Why was he with her instead of me? I looked back at Jared and he just looked at me with sad eyes. Speechless, I looked back at Jake and Bella. My heart burst and a tear leaked out of my eye. Shakily, I got up as did Jared.

"I think I'll go home now," I whispered. I spun on my heel and started on my way home. Jared quickly caught up to me and we walked in silence. I started shivering uncontrollably and Jared just scooped me up in his arms and carried me the rest of the way home. When we were almost home, I broke the silence.

"Jared, what time is it?"

"It's almost supper time," he replied. My eyes widened.

"I've been out that long?" He nodded. That was a heck of a long walk. We got to Sam's house and I opened the door. The rest of the guys were gathered around the table getting ready to eat. They all looked up at me when I walked in, their faces displaying shock.

"Jared, what happened?" Sam asked.

"Jen are you alright?" Emily was by my side in a moment. "You must be cold! Go take a shower and warm up!" I nodded dazedly and walked up the stairs. Just before I left the room, I heard Jared say something quietly to the rest of the guys.

"It was Victoria and, um, something else..." then he lowered his voice to almost a whisper and I didn't hear what he was saying. I rummaged around my drawers, looking for some pajamas, finally finding some stuffed at the very bottom. I entered the bathroom and quickly shut the door. I took a long time in the shower. I kept thinking of Jake and how he held Bella Swan instead of coming over to me. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't realize the hot water had started to run out. I shut off the water quickly and stepped out, drying myself and pulling the pajamas on. I left the bathroom and headed downstairs. The guys were gone by now and Emily was cleaning up in the kitchen. Only Jared was there. He was on the couch, fast asleep. I entered the kitchen and sat down at the table. Emily glanced over at me.

"You hungry Jen?" she asked.

"Sort of, I guess." I responded. Emily quickly got out some bread and was starting to make a sandwich. I got up and went over to her.

"I can do it. Just finish whatever you were doing," I said. Emily smiled at me but I detected a little pity and sadness in her eyes. I ignored her and finished making my sandwich. When I was done, I brought my sandwich upstairs and sat on my bed, staring out my window. When I finished my sandwich I remained sitting there deep in my thoughts. I soon got up and went downstairs to put the plate away. By now, it was late afternoon and Emily was starting to prepare dinner. Jared was still sleeping on the couch.

"Hey, Em," I said when I entered the kitchen, placing my plate in the sink. "Do you need help?"

"Sure," Emily said smiling. "I was thinking of making some salad and steak tonight. Why don't you start cutting the lettuce?"

"Sounds good," I said, grabbing a knife, a cutting board and a head of lettuce. I started hacking at the lettuce head and Emily started on the steak. After a while, Emily broke the silence.

"So, Jen, you ok?" I sighed, hacking through the last of the lettuce.

"I don't know," I replied honestly. Somehow, I knew she was referring to the whole Jake scenario at the beach. "I mean, I just don't understand why he went to her and not me. Why? I'm his imprint! I don't even know who Bella Swan is so why is he with her instead?" I violently ripped apart a leaf of lettuce, suddenly feeling very angry.

"Don't worry Jen," Emily said. "Bella's just someone Jake knows."

"How do you know?" I snapped. "You weren't there! You didn't see the way that Jake held her!" Emily remained silent. After a slight pause, I sighed.

"Sorry, Emily," I said. "I'm just so confused right now." Emily nodded.

"It's alright Jen. Now, if we want to finish dinner before the boys get back and start complaining, let's get a move on it! Do you mind starting on dessert? We can make cookies or muffins." I chuckled.

"I'll make cookies, then." I said, smiling a little. I didn't want the guys to return with empty stomachs and bothering us! I quickly got out the chocolate chips and the cookie ingredients. I started mixing everything and soon, the cookies were starting to go in the oven. By 5:30, I had finished baking 4 batches of cookies and was just putting the last batch when the door opened. Sam entered with Embry and Paul. They sniffed the air.

"What smells so good?" Paul asked as Sam came over to greet Emily. I smiled.

"Maybe the chocolate chip cookies I'm baking?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. "Or, you know, it could be my shampoo." Paul snorted and sat down at the table. I smirked at him and started getting out plates, forks, and knives. Just as I started to set the table, Jared ambled in.

"Morning everyone," he said yawning. "Is dinner almost ready?" Just as I was about to say something back to him, Emily entered with a plate of steak and placed it down. Sam came out behind her with a bowl of salad. I went back into the kitchen and took out the last batch of cookies. I set a plate of the cookies on the table and sat down in my chair. Only one seat was open since Jake was missing. My heart wanted him to be here, but my brain told my heart to quit whining and focus on eating.

"Dig in," Emily said. The guys quickly grabbed food as quickly as they can and began eating with gusto. I took a little of everything and ate silently while they discussed their findings today.

"What are we going to do about the red-head?" Jared asked. Sam sighed.

"We can only keep patrolling and hope that we can catch her soon. She's too fast. Plus, she always bounces between the borders." Just then, the door opened and Jake stood there. My heart dropped into my stomach but I avoided his eyes and kept eating.

"Where have you been, Jake?" Sam asked.

"I was just making sure Bella was ok," he responded, taking a seat next to me. That was it. I quickly shoved the last of my food in my mouth and stood up.

"Thanks for the food, Emily, it was delicious," I said.

"But you barely ate anything," Emily said, bewildered.

"I'm really full, thanks." I rushed into the kitchen and dropped my plate in the sink. I hurried upstairs, shutting and locking my door. I lay on my bed and gazed up at the ceiling. I stared up at my ceiling as tears leaked out from my eyes. Jake cared more about Bella than me! He even went and made sure she was alright but he never checked up on me! I cried silently, rolling over in my bed so that my back was to the door. I soon started drifting off. A knock at my door sounded and I jolted awake.

"Who is it?" I grumbled, stifling a yawn.

"It's Jake." I gasped, sitting up.

"What do you want?"

"Can we just talk?"

"Now, Jake? No. I'm tired and I really want to sleep. I'll talk later."

"Can we just talk now? Please? I promise I'll be quick." My patience was ebbing and on top of that, I was really tired and Jake was starting to annoy me.

"NO! I need to sleep! Go do something else and try tomorrow." Jake didn't give up. I kept asking to speak to me and I just ignored him, slowly drifting back to sleep. Soon, I heard him sigh in defeat and I heard his footsteps retreat down the stairs. Then, I was out like a light.

So, turns out I had time today and I was able to update! :D yay!
